  2. Inverse trigonometric functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_trigonometric...

    A Riemann surface for the argument of the relation tan z = x. The orange sheet in the middle is the principal sheet representing arctan x. The blue sheet above and green sheet below are displaced by 2π and −2π respectively. Since the inverse trigonometric functions are analytic functions, they can be extended from the real line to the ...

  3. Trigonometric functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_functions

    In mathematics, the trigonometric functions (also called circular functions, angle functions or goniometric functions) [1][2] are real functions which relate an angle of a right-angled triangle to ratios of two side lengths. They are widely used in all sciences that are related to geometry, such as navigation, solid mechanics, celestial ...

  4. Inversive geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversive_geometry

    P ' is the inverse of P with respect to the circle. To invert a number in arithmetic usually means to take its reciprocal. A closely related idea in geometry is that of "inverting" a point. In the plane, the inverse of a point P with respect to a reference circle (Ø) with center O and radius r is a point P ', lying on the ray from O through P ...

  5. List of trigonometric identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_trigonometric...

    Viète. de Moivre. Euler. Fourier. v. t. e. In trigonometry, trigonometric identities are equalities that involve trigonometric functions and are true for every value of the occurring variables for which both sides of the equality are defined. Geometrically, these are identities involving certain functions of one or more angles.

  6. Trigonometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometry

    v. t. e. Trigonometry (from Ancient Greek τρίγωνον (trígōnon) 'triangle' and μέτρον (métron) 'measure') [1] is a branch of mathematics concerned with relationships between angles and side lengths of triangles. In particular, the trigonometric functions relate the angles of a right triangle with ratios of its side lengths.

  7. Inverse function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_function

    Functor. List of specific functions. v. t. e. In mathematics, the inverse function of a function f (also called the inverse of f) is a function that undoes the operation of f. The inverse of f exists if and only if f is bijective, and if it exists, is denoted by. For a function , its inverse admits an explicit description: it sends each element ...

  8. Inversive distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversive_distance

    a value of −1 for two circles that are tangent to each other, one inside of the other, and a value less than −1 when one circle contains the other. (Some authors define the absolute inversive distance as the absolute value of the inversive distance.) Some authors modify this formula by taking the inverse hyperbolic cosine of the value given ...

  9. Tangent half-angle formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangent_half-angle_formula

    The angle between the horizontal line and the shown diagonal is ⁠ 1 2 ⁠ (a + b). This is a geometric way to prove the particular tangent half-angle formula that says tan ⁠ 1 2 ⁠ (a + b) = (sin a + sin b) / (cos a + cos b). The formulae sin ⁠ 1 2 ⁠(a + b) and cos ⁠ 1 2 ⁠(a + b) are the ratios of the actual distances to the length ...
